Similar to a small publishing house for quality literature, INDEX releases and
distributes audiovisual publications relevant to the history of international
and Austrian film, video and media art. Information about the film- and
videomakers and their production methods as well as analyses of the works are
provided in a bilingual German-English booklet. INDEX DVDs are available to
schools for educational use, as well as university institutes and libraries.

There is a certain focus on Kurt Kren with three DVDs, but almost all important
representatives of both Austrian avant-garde film and media art appear in the
selection. The programme reveals also how highly differentiated the individual
scenes have been: between the feminist body concept art of VALIE EXPORT and the
Queer home movies by Pürrer/Scheirl, between the travel reflections of Lisl
Ponger and the material studies by Gustav Deutsch, there are numerous references
which are not based on common strategies or topics but on a dense array of
audiovisual works dealing with identity, materiality and the many facets in
between.

The label has meanwhile enlarged its programme with international artists such
as Ivan Ladislav Galeta from Zagreb and Józef Robakowski from Poland, which
indicates an intensive discovery of common horizons.

Purchase of the entire collection for discounted price and subscription for
future DVD releases can be ordered directly at office@index-dvd.at.
